The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2548 Shangguan Wenyin, you've infiltrated too?
"fair enough."

Yuwen Difei laughed and said, "Then let's do it this way. Yuwen Zhao, you are in charge of choosing a pill formula for Fellow Daoist Chen."

"it is good!"

The matter was settled so simply, and soon the two pill formulas were handed to Lin Chen and Yuwen Zhao respectively.

All eyes were focused on Lin Chen and Yuwen Zhao's faces, because there was a certain probability that the opponent might already know how to refine the deadly pill formula that you thought you had brought out.

Lin Chen and Yuwen Zhao frowned as they looked at the prescription, their eyes showing no joy.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

The bad news is that the pill formula provided by the other party seems to be unfamiliar to our own alchemists.

The good news is that the alchemist I provided doesn't seem to know the recipe either.

For now, everyone is on the same starting line. As for the final outcome, that's up to fate.

"The materials have been prepared for you two. Go to the quiet room and study them at your leisure."

Lin Chen and Yuwen Zhao were led away to a pre-prepared alchemy room, accompanied by personnel from both sides who would be responsible for cross-supervision to prevent cheating.

Two families may have a good relationship, but that's a union of interests. When their own interests are involved, they naturally become competitors.

Just as the two were about to leave the banquet hall, a guard at the entrance saw Lin Chen walking out and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Chen sensed the unusual gaze and turned to look, his eyes meeting those of the guard.

What the hell!

Lin Chen exclaimed inwardly, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Shangguan Wenyin!

Although this guy had disguised his face, making it impossible to tell anything, Lin Chen had spent a lot of time with him and was very familiar with his figure and features. In particular, the moment their eyes met, that clear feeling came instantly.

Why is he here?

Lin Chen wasn't surprised to see Shangguan Wenyin here. After all, Shangguan Wenyin was with Fan Tianxing now. The old leader had countless admirers and followers in the sect. Even though the current leader had purged many of them, when the old leader appeared, many people would definitely switch sides without hesitation and follow him again.

Lin Chen was concerned that Shangguan Wenyin was here, which meant that Fan Tianxing was also here.
Their presence here—does it mean they're planning to attack the Yuwen and Wei families? What a coincidence!
I haven't even obtained the Hidden Divine Jade Stem yet!

I haven't even gotten my hands on the Heavenly Mysterious Divine Water yet!
If war breaks out directly, wouldn't all of this be ruined?

Just in case, Lin Chen decided at that moment to communicate with Shangguan Wenyin and find out their purpose.

He turned around and looked into the hall, while silently transmitting his voice to Shangguan Wenyin.

"Find an opportunity to come to the alchemy room and meet me."

Yuwen Zhao was right next to Lin Chen and noticed that Lin Chen seemed to be transmitting his voice, but he subconsciously thought that Lin Chen was transmitting his voice to the Wei family head in the hall or someone else, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

Who would have guessed that he was sending a telepathic message to the guard at the gate?
After transmitting his voice, Lin Chen followed the person to the alchemy room and began to study the pill formula.

Lin Chen had never seen this pill formula before. It was called the Sea Soul Pill, a high-level pill formula unique to the Sea God Sect. The other party was certain that Lin Chen was just a rogue cultivator and had no chance to see the Sea Soul Pill formula, so they gave him this formula.

The Sea Soul Pill is a pill that repairs broken divine souls. As long as the divine soul is not destroyed, it can be repaired and nourished with this pill to accelerate its recovery. It is one of the top-tier pills, so naturally, it is extremely difficult to make.

Not only is it difficult, but the medicinal materials are also very precious, so they prepared three portions. That is to say, they have five days, but only three chances to refine it. If they make three mistakes, it is equivalent to failure, and they will have no chance to refine it again.

Lin Chen didn't know what kind of pill formula Wei Mingxuan had prepared for Yuwen Zhao, but he figured it wouldn't be simple.

Lin Chen began to immerse himself in the pill formula, simulating the pill refining process in his mind over and over again.

Only those who are extremely familiar with alchemy can simulate alchemy. It's like if you are extremely proficient in mathematics and given a bunch of huge formulas, you can calculate them in your mind, step by step, recursively, and finally get a result.

Lin Chen pondered this for three days.

He opened his eyes from his meditation, stood up, and smiled at the two alchemists guarding him, saying, "My mind is a bit muddled. I'm going out for a walk... It's nearby."

There was no rule prohibiting Lin Chen from going out, so he naturally came out and paced back and forth in the courtyard, as if he were resting or thinking.

The two alchemists in charge of monitoring exchanged a glance but neither approached. The alchemist from the Yuwen family looked smug, while the alchemist from the Wei family had a serious expression.

Three out of five days have already passed, and Lin Chen still hasn't started refining pills!
Is it because you have absolutely no thoughts?
Are they all afraid to turn on the furnace?

Is this match going to be lost?
